[-In the Golden Moon Hospital-]

While Laura and her sister headed back to her private chamber with Freya, both Selene and the Alpha King had their own moment without her interference.

​​

…

…

Right after Selene walked away, King Alcyd went after her.

Knowing that there was something wrong.

"Selene!" King Alcyd grabbed Selene's arm along the hallway of the hospital.

"What?!?!" Selene contained her emotions.

But her voice weren't able to hide the stress from her tone.

Causing others to turn their attention towards their Alpha King and his mate, Selene.

The Alpha King and Selene became conscious suddenly at the instantaneous silence from the medical staff of the hospital.

Stopping from their own tasks.

Whispers started to spread amongst the spectators of the two.

"GO BACK TO YOUR WORK!" King Alcyd angrily stated towards everyone.

He could sense that Selene got upset out of the blue after he expressed his concern for Laura's condition.

Due to her fragile health, King Alcyd became worried for the health of their unborn child.

As one of their arrangement, King Alcyd must be act responsibly as a soon-to-be father.

"It's obvious that you are upset with something! Tell me …" King Alcyd demanded from Selene.

"Who said I am upset? Do I look like upset to you right now?" Selene denied King Alcyd's assertion.

Kratos, the spirit wolf of King Alcyd could sense better than the Alpha King.

'She is clearly upset with you! Point out to her she is the one who is pushing us away. We cannot play guessing game with her and act as if everything is going well. GO TELL HER!'

'Are you insane? If I do that, I will just antagonize her! I cannot risk our own position right now with her. We cannot force her to bend into our will. Garrett is right … we need to give her the time and space she wanted. Going along with her terms is the best path for us to take right now.' King Alcyd explained to his spirit wolf through their mind-link.

In the middle of the disagreement between King Alcyd and his spirit wolf, Selene wanted to let herself free from the attempt of the Alpha King in confronting her.

"I need to check on our wounded warriors. There are bigger problems we need to solve right now. Compared to sorting our own feelings." Selene tried to deflect the pressures coming from King Alcyd.

"Do not misconstrue my gesture a while ago towards Laura. My concern was for the baby and not for her. If that's what upsets you." King Alcyd presumed that Selene got upset because of his sudden gesture of concern towards Laura.

Clarifying his actions to Selene was something he needed to do.

Whether Selene admits it or not, it was obvious that she affected by King Alcyd's concern towards the health of Laura.

She realized that seeing King Alcyd act such a way to someone else or care for his wife's health caused her some unexpected sting within her.

Though, King Alcyd has finally clarified his actions.

She felt a bit relieved.

Secretly, Selene acted like it did not matter to her and she was unfazed by the words of King Alcyd.

Keeping her cool and calm posture.

Deep inside she was delighted to hear King Alcyd clear himself.

On the other hand …

While the two was preoccupied with their own moment, Beta Garrett took charge in checking on the wounded warriors.

Together with Chloe supervising the doctors of the royal hospital.

The emergency room was busy and fully packed.

Especially, Magdeline and Susan was not available at the moment.

Something within Chloe was unsettling and disturbing her.

Her focus was detached from everything.

…

'What's going on?'

'Why am I feeling uneasy?'

'I can't stop thinking about Alarick.'

Then, suddenly a huge werewolf arrived with a naked man at its back.

A familiar scent invaded her senses.

Chloe tried to make the nurses step away from her path so she could have a closer look.

And there it was …

Prince Alarick covered in blood and unconscious.

Many things went over the mind of Chloe.

'Why didn't I feel any pain?'

…

'Aren't we supposed to be linked by our mate bond?'

…

'How did he end up like this?'

…

'Who did this to him?'

…

Questions running through her mind.

The werewolf carrying the royal prince shifted back to his normal form and passed out.

Exhausted and drained from whatever battle they escaped from.

"Chloe! What are you doing? Stop standing there and start doing something!" Theo reminded the witch.

And Chloe rushed towards Prince Alarick.

Quickly, Chloe gave orders to the available medical staff with their respective tasks.

Saving Prince Alarick's life was her priority.

Commotion began upon knowing Prince Alarick was badly wounded.

And not healing himself at all.

Others had to pave way for Chloe and her medical team in tending Prince Alarick's deep wounds.

In the middle of the emergency operation of Chloe, Beta Garrett informed the Alpha King about the condition of his older brother.

Following seconds, King Alcyd's voice could be heard quickly approaching.

Standing close to the operating area, King Alcyd was eager to know.

"WHAT HAPPENED?!?! WHO DID THIS TO HIM?!?!"

Selene was looking for something else as well.

"Where is Georgie? I can smell the unique scent of his blood! Is that Georgie?" Selene pointing towards the direction of Chloe with Prince Alarick inside.

Those who heard Selene were confused.

"No … it's Prince Alarick!" Beta Garrett clarified to Selene.

"I swear, I can smell the unique scent of his blood. I know it is unusual to others but I can distinguish the unique scent of blood from every individual I get familiar with."

…

There was one assumption came into King Alcyd's mind.

"HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY BROTHER'S PLIGHT!"

Clenching his fist in anger at the thought of a rogue werewolf possibly harming Prince Alarick.
